      • Wedge the plastic opening tool in-between the keyboard and the base of the laptop.

      • Continue using the plastic opening tool to pry around the edge until the keyboard is completely freed form the frame.

      • The keyboard should only be connected by a ribbon on the underside of the keyboard.

      • It is recommended that you slowly pull the keyboard out as your move around the edge. As in picture 2.

      • Be careful not to pull the keyboard too far away from the face as it will damage the data ribbon.
